TESTIMONIALS

Lost 9kg in 3 months and became a runner!

I had put on some weight since having children and couldn't use them as an excuse anymore (it's been 8 years!!). I could see the extra weight not only in my body but my face as well and I didn't like it!! So I started working with Alexandra predominantly because I wanted to lose around 10-12kg

After an initial natural movement session I signed up to train twice every week for 3 months. I got results, went on holiday and upon my return, I signed up for long term natural movement fitness and running training.

Alongside the physical training, Alexandra kept a close eye on what I was eating. We wrote down everything I was eating over 7 days and then we started tweaking my nutritional habits. What I liked is that I didn't have to give up my favourite foods altogether, but rather control how much I was eating throughout the week. Being accountable to someone makes a massive difference when it comes to weight loss and results.

I had tried all sorts of diets before but the results didn't last because the type of food or the portions were not what I would normally eat, so as soon as the diet stopped, the weight crept up again. Seeing the weight drop off a little bit every week was a great motivator!

In the first 3 months I lost 9kg. What a huge difference!!! I went on holiday and I was ok to eat my favourite foods over the two weeks. The best part was that I didn't put all the weight back on. Training with Alexandra is not a quick fix so the results last and that makes a difference.

I was also never a runner but training with Alexandra has given me the confidence to start running, something I thought I would never do. Everything in Alexandra's training was completely new to me - posture, cardiovascular fitness, running technique, breathing, mobility, strength and power. She taught me all of this and I believe this will be useful for my future health and fitness.
